And unless you have had a personal interaction with Elliott, don't go around making accusations about how egotistical he is or isn't. There are multiple sides to their story and unless you know everyone's aspect, don't blame anyone. This is real life. Not some soap opera for the viewers to enjoy or argue about.

Your video just randomly came up on my feed. I’ve currently been feeling very much anxious the past couple of weeks because I’m just starting university and I genuinely don’t know what I want in life, so your title really impressed me into watching your video because I have so many interests and passions for random things that I would like to pursue but I don’t think I will have the time for so I watched your video as a way of living through you and going after my dreams and passions. Btw, your edits and shortcuts were so cool and that little guy was so very cute and wholesome. I believe you’ll get the recognition you deserve in the near future and I hope you keep it up!

[@ssnaccks9888]

I was absolutely amazed by the quality of this video. From the intricate details of the secret entrance to the clarity of the bird cam footage, every aspect was stunning. Even the packaging of the product and the item in the bag were shown with remarkable attention to detail. The editing was masterfully done, making the whole experience truly outstanding. I hope that others appreciated the incredible effort put into creating this video, just as much as I did.

[@judymyers1934]

I love when KZbinrs become successful because as a small content creator on KZbin, I know how hard it is to gain traction and attention from the beginning. Like many of you guys, I was tired of creating quality content almost every day and getting only a few hundred views on my best days. After that, I tried to use some tools to boost my social presence (currently I am mostly using Famester because it's really popular these days, and works for every single platform) Now I don't have to worry about constant changes in algorithm, and honestly I don't regret it. It made everything a lot easier.

Your resilience and determination shine through, and it's a fantastic reminder of the power of stepping out of your comfort zone and pursuing something. You've shown that chasing your dreams starts with taking some steps in a direction, and opportunities will present themselves-along with oatmeal and Chipotle.
